NASA's Twin Mini Satellites Captures Far-Infrared Radiation from Polar Regions
NASA’s PREFIRE mission, launched in 2024, is utilizing CubeSats to capture groundbreaking data on far-infrared radiation emitted from polar regions. These measurements, which track heat escaping from the Arctic and Antarctic, provide critical insights into Earth’s energy balance, a key component in understanding climate change. Despite encounte...

NASA Disasters Programme Uses Artificial Intelligence to Help Aid Response Efforts
NASA is leveraging artificial intelligence and open science to enhance disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. During events like Hurricane Ida, NASA provided actionable data on soil moisture, flood detection, and power outages through its Disasters Mapping Portal. AI-driven tools, like blue tarp detection for damaged roofs, are aidi...

NASA Confirms Solar Maximum as Sun Reaches Peak of Its 11-Year Cycle with Heightened Activity
NASA and NOAA report that the Sun has reached its most active phase in the 11-year solar cycle, known as solar maximum. This period increases solar storms, affecting satellites, astronauts, and Earth's communication and power systems. While the exact peak won’t be confirmed for months, solar activity is expected to remain high for the next year.

Tamil Nadu Students Make Rs 15,000 Satellite, Possibly World's Smallest
A group of engineering students in Tamil Nadu have made a new experimental satellite which could set a new world record as the world's lightest and cheapest. The satellite, which can literally fit into the palm of one's hand, was made at a cost of just Rs 15,000 and weighs slightly lesser than a medium-sized egg. The satellite was developed by four...
